CARROTS 
Sow seed thinly in shallow*drills early in the spring in rows 
not less than 12 in. apart. Make succession sowings every 
two weeks up to the early part of July. When well started, 
thin the small early varieties to stand 2 in. apart in the 
row and the larger later varieties from 3 to 4 in. A rich, 
mellow, deeply worked soil gives the finest Carrots. Culti¬ 
vate throughout the season to insure smooth straight roots. 
For winter storing, sow about the middle of June, which will 
make full size roots before cold weather sets in. 1 pkt. of 
seed will sow 50 ft. of row; 1 oz. 200 ft.; 3 lbs. for one acre.
